The Eisenhower dollar serieswas created to commemorate the late president Dwight Eisenhower, with the first coins being produced in 1971. All of the dollar coins produced for public circulation were made on a copper-nickel planchet, the same type used in U.S. quarters, dimes and half dollars. A few special types of 'Ikes' were struck in a 40% silver alloy, and sold by the U.S. Mint to coin collectors for a small premium.
In 1972, the U.S. Mint produced the normal copper-nickel coin for circulation at two mint branches, Philadelphia and Denver. Denver mint coins can be recognized by the small 'D' mintmark directly above the coin's date. These dollars are common, and are worth only $1-2 in any condition. Philadelphia coins can be identified by their lack of a mintmark. While most of these coins are common as well, there is one notable 1972 Philadelphia variety with a greater value.
